End Human Rights Violations for Migrants in U.S. Custody!
Since 2006, No More Deaths, with members of other Southern Arizona humanitarian organizations, has sent hundreds of volunteers to work in aid stations and resource centers in Northern Mexico, including Nogales, Agua Prieta, Benjamin Hill and now Naco. The mission of supporting people as they are repatriated and deported to the other side of the cruel ‘line’ is to acknowledge that the suffering of migrants does not end when they are pulled out of the desert.
